How to pay for your visa?
The Chile immigration service (Servicio de Migraciones) has implemented a new online platform for visa applications.
When you apply for a visa, you pay immediately after finishing to file your application. It can be done online, using the payment systems available in Chile. If you are not yet in Chile, you will be able to pay:
- by credit card using the WebPay system, which allows international credit card (make sure your bank has not restricted international payments).
- using PayPal: you can use your PayPal account, or pay by credit card on PayPal.
Please note that when filing a visa for you and your family:
- children below 18 years old don't pay visa fees.
- if you relocate with your partner, you must first fill out your own application and pay it. Then, there will be a checkbox saying "do you want a grouped application?", which means with your family. If you tick that, you will be asked to fill out your partner and children applications.
Cost of visas
Temporary residency visa
As far as the cost of a visa is concerned, the immigration service distinguishes three types of visas:
- Student visa
- Temporary residency visa
- Work visa
Each type of visa may have a different cost. You can check this page from the immigration service website to check the price of the visa.
Below are the current visas fees in US dollars as of June 2023. The immigration service last updated the visa fees in 2020 and has not modified them since then.

Cost of the work permit as a tourist
For those wishing to work on a tourist visa, the cost of the tourist work permit is 1.5 times the price of the visa subject to a work contract.
Cost of the permanent residency
The cost of permanent residency is 105.713 Chilean pesos. However, you do not have to pay if your partner (marriage or civil union) is Chilean or if you are less than 18 years old when you apply.
The immigration service may deny your permanent residency and grant you a new temporary visa instead. In that case, they will ask you to pay (or refund you) the difference between the cost of permanent residence and the cost of your temporary visa (based on your citizenship).
Cost of the Chilean citizenship
The cost of the Chilean citizenship application is 29,436 Chilean pesos. However, the price is reduced to 5,887 Chilean pesos for foreigners with a Chilean partner or a Chilean son/daugher.
